186 Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government

β€œAppalling, delayed, partial and looks chaotic”

This week the Inquiry heard from inside Whitehall, as two civil servants, Bob Ledsome and Anthony Burd, gave evidence. It was revealed that the All-Party Parliamentary Group on fire safety chased housing ministers 16 times about a promised revision to the building regulation guidance. And we heard about a briefing that was prepared a few days after the Grenfell Tower Fire, which described the department’s correspondence with this group as β€œappalling, delayed, partial and looks chaotic”.
